Abstract
This paper recalls some properties of a cyclic semigroup and examines cyclic subsemigroups in a finite ordered semigroup. We prove that a partially ordered cyclic semigroup has a spiral structure which leads to a separation of three classes of such semigroups. The cardinality of the order relation is also estimated. Some results concern semigroups with a lattice order.
